Yesterday I went back to an old HC stack that filtered just such a list. I tried a Rev version of it on a list of 400,000 lines and it seems to run reasonably responsively. If this has already been dealt with better, then just ignore...
There is a search field and another field named "results". I put the list in a global called "clientlist", so one could just go and type into the search field at any time. In the search field script: on rawkeyUp tkey if length(line 1 of me) < 4 then pass rawkeyUp put line 1 of me into tofind --lose errant returns get revFullFind(clientList,toFind,"lineNum","false") repeat with y = 1 to number(lines of it) put line line y of it of clientlist & return after temp1 end repeat if temp1 = "" then put "No such" && quote & tofind & quote && "found" into fld "results" else put temp1 into fld "results" end rawkeyUp function revFullFind theText,toFind,form,exactly repeat for each line theline in thetext add 1 to counter if exactly = "true" then if toFind = theLine then if form = "lineNum" then x put counter & return after temp22 else if form = "txt" then put theLine & return after temp22 end if end if else if toFind is in theLine then if form = "lineNum" then put counter & return after temp22 else if form = "txt" then put theLine & return after temp22 end if end if end if end repeat return temp22 end revFullFind "revFullFind" was one of my earliest Rev efforts; it duplicates much of Rinaldi's "fullFind". It gives here a return delimited list of line numbers of all occurrances of a string found in another string, which is then mapped to the riginal data.
